Customer Question

His eye got very cloudy, blue and had eye booger. This morning and waas rolling it up. So we bought some penicillin to give him durvet brandJA: I'm sorry to hear that. What is the dog's name and age?Customer: Sebastian. He's 10 years oldJA: Is there anything else important you think the veterinarian should know about Sebastian?Customer: No not really

I'm sorry that your question wasn't answered in a timely manner. A cloudy and blue eye indicates corneal inflammation due to injury (abrasion, ulcer) or to intraocular disorders such as glaucoma (increased intraocular pressure) or uveitis (inflammation of the iris and its attachments). This can't be addressed with penicillin but will need to be attended to by Sebastian's vet. A thorough ophthalmologic exam is necessary at your earliest convenience because glaucoma, at least, can blind my patient quickly.
